Thank me I stood up at night after wasting my whole day I decided to study chemistry and I ended up on your channel

I’m glad to live in a world where someone still has some damn sense. Thanks keep up the good work.

There's an unusually cold spell in my (tropical) country and the governor is advertising it like holidays

Man I love all your videos

I've missed your videos! Thanks!

Absolutely love your videos

I'd more so like to know what this weather event was caused by if temperatures are going up globally. Why did it affect Texas specifically, etc.

That was one of the first videos I made on this channel and it's linked in the description if you're interested. It has to do with the weakening jetstream which allows arctic air to move further south during the winter. So expect more of these events.

@@ButWhySci ok cool thanks

that was excellent thank you!

nice conclusion ;)

very good.

Snow is not like reflect the radiation, being white and reflective and all.

Similarly, hot weather anomalies don't prove global warming

😊🤙🏽

I knew it! Cooling means warming.

So what about the other video where you say this is the lowest the level of carbon dioxide in earth’s history? How did life survive when it used to be much higher?

Depends on what you mean by life. CO2 isn't an issue. The issue is the rate of change in the earths climate principally caused by the increase in CO2. Normally climate changes over thousands of years and usually not more than a few degrees. But even then many species are lost. But to answer your question, organisms back then were adapted to the hotter climate. Most notably, dinosaurs were cold blooded. Mammalian life (you) would have a really rough time back then. Which is probably (speculation, nothing is certain with evolution) why ancient mammals were very small. Increase body surface to volume ratio for keeping cool.

Thanks so much for not going on a political tangent.

Well, the oceans are the major energy sink but the land and atmosphere are also critical to global warming. Your thesis that it'll have a [significant] feedback effect with plants doesn't really follow. AGW is a medium term global trend. While short term weather is hard to predict, longer term climate shows clear trends. A weather event in one small part of the world for an insignificant amount of time is, well, insignificant. While tying any individual data point to any trend is impossible in practical terms, the storm is better characterised as _effect_ of global warming - climate change - rather than something that _affects_ AGW. We can say "this is what AGW theory predicts more of" but we can't say "this particular event was caused by global warming". More energy in the system means more turbulence. Hotter air holds more liquid and there is more evaporation. This doesn't necessarily mean more extreme weather events though. The amount of hurricanes is expected to decrease for example but those that do form will be more powerful. The picture is complex. Applying a global trend to a local area, especially in the short term, is something you need to be very careful of.

So why don't we run heat exchangers into the ocean? If the oceans are getting warmer, couldn't we cool them with massive Liquid nitrogen heat exchangers. You could even use it as a source of (low) power production. Pump the cold liquid nitrogen through pipes on the sea floor and as it expands and turns into a gas, you pipe the expanding gas through turbines before recompressing it back into a liquid...

I don't think you realise how absolutely massive the oceans are. It would require absurd amounts of energy to try and cool even small parts of the ocean. On the other hand, it is very easy for us to warm it because we don't need to produce the energy, we simply need to trap it.

Plants also most of the time simply cycle the carbon dioxide and don’t remove it from the system

trees hold onto a lot of it and burning fossil fuels or breeding cows or not, humans have razed more than 50% of world's forests since beginning of civilization.

A good scientist should never publish something lacking references or methodology. :)

Sooooooo, *The Day After Tomorrow* is mostly bull…

Green the deserts with more CO2. That will increase atmospheric H2O, increase precipitation and grow ice caps and glaciers and also increasing Earth’s albedo, thus solving the global warming “crisis”.

perspective and range on "cold" and "hot" are important to define here. Seems we have these massive heat sinks, in the form of massive ice sheets, which, for most of human civilization, have been much less massive. Maybe we make life a little easier and let it get warmer

Sorry, but this is faulty. The pacific AND atlantic has been colder, not warmer. In particular the pacific. Thus, it does not explain this. Also, the theory will explain extra rain or snow, but it doesn't explain increased SNOW vs rain. That means the area is generally colder. So while this is not proof that there are no global warming, it sure is not according to any global warming scenario either. If it proves anything, it is that AGW theories are wrong, but even as I believe AGW actually is completely outrageous, I do not take this as a proof for what I believe is correct. It is not proof of anything!
